Scott, I really didn't know that the oak leaves were that acidic and that you had that great of a concentration of them. Around here it's mostly maples. But I agree with Greg. Mowing them turned the leaves to powder and the wind takes them away. Usually to be replaced by more leaves.


Yeah, not any more but for instance when I was a kid if we didn't rake
twice or more in the fall, we would probably have a layer of 2-3 inches
of leaves over the whole half acre.. Now it's not as bad with half as
many trees. Either way, if I just mulched it in now I am sure I would
have a solid 3/4 to 1" of solid mulch blanketed over my half acre. And
yes, red oak are very acidic. We have to put down a lot of lime here if
we want a good lawn without leaving the leaves at all.

If they didn't come and we cleaned the lawn in one shot there would be a
pile across our 80 foot (not driveway) curb access. That pile would be
80 feet long, probably 10 to 12 feet off the curb, and 3-4 feet high in
the middle... Back in "the day" we would move that much to the curb, 2-3
times in a 3-4 week period with our (then) 22 0aks, and at least a dozen
more close enough to our property in neighbors yards that are no longer
there either...

One of my neighbors gets out his Dixon zero turn and mows his lawn one last time. Only he mows circling backwards and while chopping themup, blows the leaves onto a pile then mows the pile munching them even more. Then repeats the process three or four times and it's over.

Leaves just sorta disappear.

That works for a while. Then the leaves overcome the ability of the
mower.

You need a bigger mower ;-)

That's an idea, but my mower is part of my exercise program.

I'd love to have one of those John Deere garden tractor mowers.

That was my strategy in maryland and I do a similar thing here with
the crap that grows over on the area behind me that belongs to FPL. I
have pretty much reclaimed about a quarter acre that was just an
overgrown thicket of peppers, air potatoes and fox grapes.
Once we got the bulk of it out of there I just keep running over it
with the mower. I do the same thing with the live oak leaves.
Turn it all to dust,


Can't do that here... if I let it go we would have three inches of mulch..

I did it in maryland. That house was backed right up to thousands of
acres of woods.


I am in a AAA zoned area. Leaving it would mean nothing would grow
there. My property would start eroding into others properties within a
year or so I and I think the town would get involved... We do have folks
who don't have "lawn" here, but something is growing on all of the
properties that aren't woods..

That you look like an HIV-AIDs victim or Holocaust survivor and I don't
doesn't make me fat. And you are the one getting one surgical procedure
after another, Mr. BadHealth.

When you have a small area to mow, a lawn tractor isn't the right
choice. Aparently you didn't get the word.

I have a tractor on a half acre but I use it to move stuff around the
yard, mow the lawn and I also have the triple bag on the back for real
clean up and at the beginning or end of the season I have a street
sweeper attachment that I use on the lawn. It even gets most of the
acorns but it's not practical for moving the initial bulk...
